“Since I was young, music was all I’ve known,” says Azanti, who has grabbed the spotlight of the continent’s competitive Afro-pop industry with his unique, self-created fusion of R&B, hip-hop, AfroBeats, and trap soul.  “It’s only when I’m making music that everything goes away and I’m in my own world. Making music is very special and has a sacred community. Nothing else gives me the same peace of mind.”
